Generally, I would like to move as much as possible out of configure.ac and
vlc-config into the Makefiles. In other words, I'd like to move compile and
link flags into substitution variables and define targets with automake if
statements.

Improving the current autoconf infrastructure is of course still a good
thing to do in any case.

Please send either one in-line patch per message (easier to review) or one
patch per attachment of a single message (easier to merge).

Best regards,
